Behind the scenes of Barcelona’s urban architecture

You’ve probably heard of Gaudí (and if not, it’s definitely time!), but he wasn’t creating in an architectural vacuum! 

This urban architecture tour of Barcelona blends the old and new, revealing how Barcino—the ancient Roman city—evolved into the Barcelona we know today, celebrated worldwide for its Catalan Modernism.

This tour isn’t just for architecture enthusiasts; it’s also for those curious about the tangled and often challenging reality of a 2,000-year-old city that has transformed over time. Unlike many other European cities, Barcelona’s streets and facades narrate the stories of legendary artists, wealthy patrons, and a resilient local community striving not only to preserve its culture but to celebrate it in any way possible.

Walk through the masterpieces of renowned and lesser-known architects, uncover the untold stories behind their creations, and immerse yourself in the distinct Catalan approach to building a city that is both beautiful and deeply meaningful.
